A Year Ago and Today

As the rains continued to come down over the last 2 weeks, it took me back to last year when I was fretting about the rain slowing up the renovation process. Here we were in the 4th week of June and this is how far we had gotten? Is that all? Take a look at these photos and remember.

It rained so often this year that when Jen mowed, it created a labyrinthian site. This is week 54.



How we look today - week 56.

First floor siding finished! And stepping out

Last weekend Liseli worked on the last steps off the deck.



She found larger rocks to fill in after deciding on the shape of the last step.



Finished product.



Between youth conferences and the recent rainstorms, Chris spent part of her time siding. Here she is working on the last section above the patio.



Mike putting on the last board - a very strange shape up in the corner.



The finished bits and pieces of the first floor siding are easily seen here - and did you notice that the grass seed has sprouted? It won't be long before Jen has to mow it.
